Many who seein apparently wcll are dying suddenly atul those who are afflicted slijrhtly do not know what it is, and what is still worse are in ignorance of a prevention and cure. This disease is fast on the increase, and one can scarcely piek ur a newspaper without seeing an account of a sudden death from it. Puysicians 8hou.li) wam théir patients and teil them how to guard against it by receomniendlng the best remedies witiiin their kuowledge. In a lectuie rccently delivered on tliis subject by the eminent Dr. .1. W. Hawkei, Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeuties II) the Hahneraann College and Hospital of Chicago. Illinois, lie says: There is probably no diseae anwng the many to whlch the human fatnily is liable that is so alarming as heart disease. The 6uffe-er finds no pleasure in anything. He is In constant dread of sudden death, and the physician who cures a patiënt from any foim of lieart trouble receives more credit and praisc tuan he who relieves any other t'orm of sickness. Many in whora heart disease had never been suspected have gone to sleep after eating a liearty tliuner and never aguin awoke. This disease. should coininand at once the immediate attention not onlv of every physician, but of every person at the present time because It' by negligence or want of knowledge of a reraedy that will arrest the progress of this terrible disease death may occur at any moment. Heart disease has become more prevalent than any other form of complaint, and yet is the last thing we are apt to think ails us, wlien in faet it is just what seven-eights of the people are afflicted with. For proof of this the New York Daily Herald alone, in their telegraph dispatches, have publl.-ücil In ihe laat llirce ulüuMl uinclj sudden deaths, seventy-eight of which were from heart disease, tnakingan average of nearly one a day, conclusively showing that the people are more afflicted with this disease than with any other. Physicians of the highest authority have given careful and exhaustive attention to diseates of the heart, and have compiled statistics showing the classes of people who were most subject to them. Those following agricultural parsuits are afflicted the most on account of being exposed to the changes of the weather. Individuals suffering with kidney, liver or stomach diffiiculties are also greatly exposed to heart disease, because these 01 gans play an important in the purilication of the blood, which is passed back and forth through this most delicate organ the heart, and from thence is distributed through the whole circulatory system, thus, ff these vital organs are in the least deranged, preventing them from performing their functious perfectly, some form of heart disease must inevitably follow. Therefore, he who neglects the slightest gymptoms of these common complaints puts his life in jeopardy. Yet there are thousands doing this very thing thraugh ignorance of the fearful consequences, as iu the case of Mr. Henry White, a prominent cltizen of Spencer, Ohio, who had heart diseiise in its worst form. He says: "I paid scarcely any attention at ürst to my occasional spells of feeling badly, as my symptoms were o common among others wkom I know and were not by them regarded as serious. This led me to anticípate speedy recovery by resorting to sucli ordinary remedies as pills, bitters, etc, which I did. The foregoing treatinent afforded me only temporary relief. Had I known at the time of the remedy that linally cured me I would have been saved a terrible sickness and great expense. I gradually grew worse, my, stomach began to trouble me. my appetite failed, I becatne very nervous, was easily excited had severe pain in my left side, was troubled with shortness of breath on the slightest exertion, sleep was short and unrefreshing, experienced a feeling of great danger, did not want to be left alone, and liad a great fearof death. I eonsulted with several physicians, who said I had heart disease in its worst form, but their treatment failed to cure me. I continually grew worse, and flnally made up my mind that I had not long to live! My attention just at this critical time was called tothe great Germán rumedy known as Von Tagan's Alaxine for the lddneys, liver and heart affections. I at once commenced using it, and rapidly and permemently regained health. So great is my faith in this remedy, that I believe it will cure every one affected as I was by persisting in its me, even if the flrst or second bottle does not affect a complete cure.'1 No less remarkable was the recovery of Mr. R. Austin, one of the prominent citizens and merchants of Wellington, O. Mr. Austin commencetl failing In health during the summer of '81. His were the most common symptoms at first but were sure indications of serious heart affection. He says: "I commenced feeliiiL badly, was languid, had dull headache occasionally, my tongue was coated, appetite was alternately poor and craving, I constantly had a tired feeling, my kidneys began to trouble me, ray complexión become sallow. I had a severe pain and heaviness in my right side. I finally became so debilitated that mr family became greatly alarmed at my condition, and although I was under a physician's treatment, I grew rapidly worse. My condition was one to cause grave appiehensions but by the tirnely use of Von Tagan's Alaxine I was soon restored to the best of health. My appetite iow is good, my blood was never in better condition; I am entirely free from kidney troubles; my complexion is clear, my sleep is sound and refreshing - a sure indication of no heart aflection, as I am told- and I would say that any person afflicted as I was who neglects using Alaxine, wül do themselves serious injustice." The testimony of these two prominent gentlemen is no less strong ín its praise than that in bundreds of other cases reported. We would not have written at such lengtli did we not feel the great importance of arousing the people to action on this vital subject, heart disease, and of bringing to their notlce a remedy that will positively benefit and protect thcm.
